Questions from Sunniside
Can tenants book a repair?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Can a cracked acrylic bath be fixed?
Most of the time. The back of the crack is strengthened before the front is filled and refinished, so we need access under the bath.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Will the price change on the day?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How do I get a price for bath repair in Sunniside?
Prices start from £95. Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
How invisible is a bath repair?
On a glossy bath, you will struggle to find it. On worn enamel, it can look shinier than the rest.
Can you repair a failed DIY repair?
Regularly. We strip it out, deal with any rust and repair it again.
About our bath repair in Sunniside
A damaged bath does not have to mean a new bathroom. We fill the damage, shape it to the curve of the bath and refinish it, with the colour mixed on site so the repair is hard to spot. We are frequently asked to fix snagging damage from a refit and rust spots around the plughole, in cast iron enamel, roll-top & freestanding and whirlpool & spa baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back.

Repairs by material
Acrylic
Acrylic feels warm and is light, but it relies on good support. Cracks are strengthened from behind before the front is finished.
Pressed steel
Under the enamel of a steel bath is thin metal. Exposed steel rusts quickly, so the metal is treated and sealed before the repair.

How to look after the repair
A little care keeps the finish looking good. Our advice:
- Clean with warm water and a mild detergent
- A dripping tap stains enamel, so fix it early
- Rinse the bath after use, especially in hard water areas
- Have new chips seen to early
There is nothing special to do after a repair. Avoid bleach-based and gritty cleaners and rinse after use.
A small chip is a quick job. Left alone, they stain and can rust, so it’s worth getting them done early.

What bath repair costs
Repairs from £95. Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:
- How many items we do on one visit
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
Getting a price from photos
You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the entire bath
- Something in shot to show the size
Most customers in Sunniside get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Should you replace it?
When the bath is otherwise sound, repairing beats replacing. It’s quicker, cheaper and far less disruptive, and you keep the bath you chose. Where the whole surface is tired, we may suggest re-enamelling instead. Prices start from £95. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How the visit works
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- Dust sheets and masking go down around the bath.
- The damaged area is cleaned, keyed and degreased.
- We fill it, let it set, then sand it flush.
- We match both the colour and the shine.
- We clear up and give you the curing time, normally until the following day.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can

Related advice
Landlord and trade work in Sunniside
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
Signs you need bath repair in Sunniside
The usual cause is something heavy dropped into the bath, and a lot happen during bathroom refits. Cracks in acrylic have a different cause: poor support underneath, so the bath flexes when it’s full.
You may need us if you’ve spotted:
- Damage beneath the taps
- A kit repair that didn’t last
- Chips along the edge of the bath
- A cracked acrylic bath

Should I try a DIY kit first?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
